The whole point of the social_facility, as described on the wiki, is
clearly around helping people at that place. Charity shops such as
Oxfam and British Heart Foundation - even if they have broad aims of
"social justice" - just don't fit into this at all. And RSPCA shops?
They explicitly have nothing to do with helping people, yet seem to
call for very similar tagging as the other kinds of charity shop.
I accept that my suggestion about suppliers is more appealing to the
taxonomist than for the average user, so... how about this for an
Oxfam bookshop?
shop=books
> shop:charity=yes
- or for an RSPCA general second hand shop:
shop=second_hand
> shop:charity=yes
Or another idea would be to tag them with something like "operator:type"
or similar. eg:
shop=books
operator=Oxfam
operator:type=charity
This could be expanded for a wide variety of other operator types -
there are many organisations that provide "worthwhile" services, but are
not registered charities.
eg you could tag as operator:type=social_enterprise or
operator:type=workers_cooperative or operator:type=government etc.
Also, I'm not sure about just tagging generic charity shops as
shop=second_hand. They may mostly sell second hand goods, but they often
have a range of new things as well, eg food or craft stuff.
I think shop=second_hand is more for a place like Cash Converters etc,
charity shops are a quite distinct thing from that.
